THPG. Switches and more.
Bakelite® and porcelain switch systems. Lighting and furnishings. Manufactured in Germany and Europe.
The company THPG, established by Manufactum founder Thomas Hoof, was part of the Manufactum Group from 1998 to 2007, where it was responsible for the development and manufacture of Manufactum's own product lines. Today, it concentrates on the production and distribution of switch and lighting systems made of Bakelite®, porcelain and glass, which are now successful throughout Europe. They are most often used in the preservation of historical monuments, in the renovation of old buildings, in hotels, museums, commercial, public and private new buildings. Everywhere they appear, they are also a statement on distancing from trends and on durability as a virtue.
No, not Bakelite ...

... it's actually black
glazed porcelain.
If you were looking for black THPG switches in the past, you didn't have much choice of material: only Bakelite was available. That has now changed. We have had our classic porcelain switch system glazed black. So from now on you can choose - not only between two tried and tested materials, but also between two very different design languages: on the one hand, our porcelain system, curved, elegant and with a (room) captivating plasticity; on the other, the robust physicality of those made of Bakelite with angular shapes and a 'rustic' form in the best sense of the word.
It is astonishing how much switches can shape a room or even an entire building. When deciding on one of these systems, you should therefore be guided by your personal preferences and the specific circumstances of your home. In either case, both are a visual (and haptic) enrichment.

House Stutensee
House Stutensee comes alive with interesting light channels that run through all the rooms in different ways. Details such as cantilevered steps, the use of switches, sockets and lights made of Bakelite ®, as well as the "open-air" showers set accents and reinforce the reduced cubic character of the building form.

Locksmithery transformation
Before the reconstruction, the loft-like building was the ruin of a locksmith's store from 1904 in Stuttgart's Lehenviertel district. As the workshop building was in a very poor condition at the beginning, the conversion of the old locksmith's store was very risky and there was no guarantee that the project would succeed.
